Rich Israeli family under fire for trading with Iran

Tools

One of Israel’s wealthiest families is under fire for allegedly trading with Iran. The affair came to light via a new U.S. sanctions violator list, which accused the billionaire Ofer brothers of selling Iran an oil tanker via a Singapore subsidiary and possibly transporting Iranian oil. Iran has repeatedly called for Israel’s destruction and is widely suspected of secretly developing nuclear weapons — with the help of funding from trade that is supposed to be internationally sanctioned.
